good job with AC/Pop would do well on AM.  I also mean the WHDH/BZ?WACQ
stuff.  It is always nice to hear shows like Arnold's Morning show on `CCM.
 And, might I add, there is plenty of talented jocks in this area who in
the past excelled in this form of radio and would do a great job with it
again, rather than the FM style today of liner cards and NO personality.  I
also think an AM-Stereo station would be a must and another format that
would be nice is an equivalent of the old WNEW/WPLM.

Now, if only I can hit megabucks!!!
